Fanwood is a 10 acre site composed of areas of traditional grassland and woodland. The site is owned by Spen Valley District Scouts and is located in such a place as to give peace and tranquility to its residents whilst being located within 30 minutes travel from Leeds, Bradford, and Wakefield. A little further away are the attractions of Manchester, York and Sheffield.

The site offers safe, comfortable and secure camping for up to 400 campers.

The campsite holds its traditional values of having well stocked woodpiles and great natural assets but also has all the latest "Mod-cons" one would expect from a modern facility - such as set campfire places, showers, toilets, a campfire circle, convenient water points and friendly helpful staff. At the heart of the site is the Pinder Chapel, A facility open to ALL groups and parties for a time of quiet reflection, worship or as a meeting point.

Over recent years the campsite has been transformed into a active and bustling activity centre, offering groups instructor lead sessions on a multitude of exciting activities.
